Looks like an Arial subet font. Odd I dont remember the field so much though I was in attendance for that game. I was in 8th grade, and i got tickets with my parents and older brother who worked as an usher that year in the Silverdome.

Due to the lack of photgraphs from that era. This is the way the field would have looked for the first two years of the stadium's existance. I do believe before a national Thanksgiving game telecast in 1976 the Lions added their Helmet logo. Though I can not find any proof as of yet!

Well I couldn't find a Modified Cooper Font that looked anything like it, but I found "Hamilton Clarendon Condensed 1899" that looks pretty close

November 11, 1984 - Denver at San Diego

(These fields that I am doing are not to the full 9144x4344 resolution, just meant to be a starting point and to chronicle some research into what some of the past NFL fields looked like. I'm not as skilled graphically as the others in this thread, just trying to help out and add some images to the collection.)

Only thing different I would do is to fix the inside oval of the "O" in San Diego. It looks like it follows the interior circumference evenly.

Not a problem. As soon as I finish updating my 1983 Silverdome field (with the patch logo, man it's real bugger drawing the logo by hand in paint) and work on the two other fields (from the late 80's), with the different End Zone set ups (mostly the inversion on the colors of the word ("LIONS") the slightly changed middle helmet logo, and the first inclusion of the "Pontiac Silverdome" to the field.

San Diego's field was always an interesting breath of fresh air, though like the old Orange Bowl Stadium, got really worn out by the end of the year. Between the Chargers, San Diego State Aztecs, and the Holiday Bowl (and also recently the Poinsettia Bowl). That is a rough schedule!

Actually beginning work on the Phoenix (Arizona) Cardinals time at Sun Devil Stadium. There where 4 distinct fields the baseline (with painted over Sun Devil markings) The more detailed (After the Sun Devils season was over), the switch to "Arizona", and the year before the U of P stadium opened (Current Graphics, but at Sun Devil Stadium.

I've been thinking for a while now that having a thread for current NFL fields and fields is redundant, so I'm just going to make this thread the only one for NFL fields. With that, here are some updates for 2015.
